The former Belvoir Park Hospital just down the road from me (Belfast in Northern Ireland) used to be a popular spot for urban explorers, sadly now boarded up and for sale. There are some cracker photos here -
Cool topic! I love exploring adandoned places and I've been to quite a few places. I wish I had my own pics but they were all lost over the years. Here are some of the coolest places Holy Land, USA-abandoned biblical theme park

Someone was murdered in Holy Land USA not too long ago :/ I believe it's been torn since then, but the lit cross is still up.
With some of the cooler abandoned places people might squat there for a little while, but they usually have some police presense so no one can set up for good. People lived at Pleasure Beach for awhile, until they tore the cottages down.
Also when I lived in the woods there was an old abandoned house across the street that used to be a nursing home called "Valley of the Moon". It was being completely consumed by wisteria and the woods in general, it reminded me of the house from RFTD. Someone at my community salvaged an old clawfoot bath tub from there and set it up so it could be wood heated, out in a meadow in the woods. That was a sweet life.
All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
This place isn't exactly an abandoned building, but a graveyard of abandoned airplanes in Kingman, Arizona. Have always wanted to go camp out there for a night or two and have an explore, paint on some of planes, take pictures.
this would have been an even better location for a tomorrow's harvest listening party imo: the domes, arizona
giant abandoned ufo-like structures somewhere in the arizona desert whose purpose has never been explained...you can read more about them here in this very good article http://www.weirdus.com/states/arizona/abandoned/domes/[/img]

Ace. These remind me of Jaques Fresco's futurist architecture. I don't think they are as his Venus Project stuff is based in Florida.
I find this stuff very interesting, though I haven't the urge to go exploring myself
Jesus, was it you indeed?
To flirt unkindly with my greed
Promising eternal life
When you knew it was not right?
When you knew that what I'd need was willingness and comfort there

Thanks for that, a good article. It fascinates me as well, although I haven't really done anything beyond have a look round the odd easily accessible abandoned building.
I can't really identify with many of the more macho or supposedly 'activist' motivations mentioned in the article, though - for me the interest is in the contrast between an abandoned building and imagining it when people worked or lived in it, the fragments of people's lives still there and imagined, I suppose a kind of hauntological thing.
trying to remember a few other places now.
